Where is a great place for a child's birthday party?

[Cannycraic]

I'm wanting your suggestions of all things to do with children's parties.
So where are the good party venues?
Who makes fabulous cakes and where to buy the tat for the party bags?

Post your suggestions please and I'll add them to the party section

We had a great party at Whitehouse Farm near Morpeth. The kids did a tour of the farm, fed the animals, got to cuddle some of the animals, had a trailer ride and played on the soft play as well.
The party flew by as they were kept busy and I was home for wine in no time!
Just got all the party bag stuff, cake etc at Sainsbury's.

Namco funscape at the Metrocentre. The children get a game of bowls, ride on the dodgems and tokens for some of the games. They provided an end lane and the party room was out of the way too so less chance of losing one of them. Well worth the money.
